Best vinegar

Love this vinegar for salads, nothing else needed! I just wish we could get it on Amazon to help with cost (shipping). Ends up being pretty pricey when you order 2 plus shipping.

Favorite gluten-free ramen noodles

We've tried probably a dozen gluten free ramen alternatives, and this one is the best. First purchased in Tokyo, glad it's available here in the US.

Great gluten-free alternative for Shoyu

My daughter who has celiac disease much prefers the taste of this over Tamari; in fact, she may like it better than standard shoyu. We first purchased this in a small store in Tokyo and are amazed to be able to get it here in the US. Thank you!
